Two months after losing her beloved fox terrier in an apartment fire, Twilight's Ashley Greene has found a surefire way to move forward with her loss: shifting her focus to helping others.

"Obviously, I've had a rough few months, but I'm doing okay," she tells PEOPLE. "I'm exploring new opportunities, and I try to participate in charity events as much as possible."

"It's very important to me to focus on others, not just myself. You look at children with cancer and you think, 'Wow, it really puts my own problems into perspective.' Not to say that what we all go through isn't important, but there are people who have much greater problems that they deal with every day."

Ashley Greene's West Hollywood condo caught fire on Friday, her rep confirms to PEOPLE exclusively.

"The cause is undetermined," said the actress's spokesperson. No further details were provided, but according to TMZ, who first posted news of the blaze, law enforcement says that an unattended candle started the fire on the couch.

A source tells PEOPLE that the Twilight star's two fox terriers were in the apartment at the time. Rescuers were able to save one.

TMZ.com also reports that 10 fire trucks arrived on the scene of the seven-story building after the fire began while Greene was asleep. Greene's dog reportedly died under the bed.
